Question
Chapter 33.1, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The physiological and behavioral adaptations to extreme cold and extreme heat.
Concept introduction:
Adaptation is the process in which organism faces a succession of environmental challenges as they grow, and enhance their evolutionary fitness. In other words, adaptation means when organisms adapt new characteristics and this will help them to increase their survival in their respective environment.

What are cardinal temperatures?
Outline the events that shows the negative feedback loop that happens when you (choose only one): get a wound, consume too much sugar, get hot by being in a humid place, feel cold, drink too much water, touch a hot surface, get pinched or pricked, or are in a poorly lit room. You are encouraged to do research on the mechanisms that enables the responses for these.
What process allows us to adjust to either extreme heat or extreme cold?
